Year: 2023

Dear Employees,

Following further positive cases of Covid 19 our strategies continue as communicated on Tuesday.

• We now have 6 residents and 4 staff who are positive at Narrabri Robert Young.
• A reminder that staff are to RAT test on arrival to the facility and cross check results with each other before entering until further notice.

We appreciate that all staff are extending themselves and working incredibly hard.

Please take care of yourselves and be mindful that the incidence of infections is high in the community.

Dear Employees,

Following a further positive case of Covid 19 and in consultation with the Public Health Unit please be advised of the following:

• Staff and visitors are now required to wear full PPE whilst visiting and working in the facility.
• Visitors are requested to minimise or postpone visits, if possible, with our aim being each resident has one identified person who can visit for the time being and preferably for shorter periods of time.
• It is recommended that residents do not go out into the community due to the high number of cases reported locally.
• The Dining Room is currently closed and room service is in place for the time being.
• Most importantly all positive residents are stable and receiving antiviral treatment.
• Please note there are designated staff areas in each wing for breaks, during the further positive case of COVID-19.
• Staff are to RAT test on arrival to the facility and cross check results with each other before entering until further notice.

Kindest,
